Doug McDavid, “Virtual Libraries – Real People”, SJSU SLIS, 2008/02/06

I know Doug McDavid well, but we don’t communicate with each other as often as we should. He blogged about a talk that he gave at the San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science, so this presented a good opportunity to hear his voice.

This presentation will describe the business and learning to be done in virtual worlds, based on Doug McDavid’s compelling interpersonal interactions including a serious approach to Second Life and its applications for global working collaborations. The presentation will include concepts such as the “presentation of self in everyday life,” the surprising degree of the social nature of the experience with colleagues and peers, as well as meeting people outside the IBM community such as in the library, education and arts communities.
